2. The 4.0 GB measurement is typical for a 2-to-1 data compression ratio, but the actual ratio is dependent on the data. The maximum time to backup (read or write) on a TLZ06 cassette tape in a continual (streaming) mode is system dependent. The efficient use of streaming mode is determined by your operating system. -
